They are not in 2003.
I doubt that "down converting" would cause Excel to create functions for
you.
In 2003, it's common to use SumProduct to do multiple-test types of things.
However, you could probably use array-entered formulas too.
Do a Google search. There is lots of information about equivalents to these
functions for 2003.

The problem with this is that the function simply doesn't exist in 2003. It
has nothing to do with the way you are presenting the range.
